WHAT USERS HAVE TO SAY

What a pleasure to actually find a program designed for the trades. I employ people on wages and contract rates, and your program tells me how many hours are allowed, and the contract rate for each labour item. That’s just brilliant, I couldn’t find another program that would do anything like that!

I had heard about estimating software and a friend of mine who is a computer expert explained the advantages of using software, which would save me time while compiling my quotes. While setting up the item book I found some of the rates I’d been using for years were way out – too dear and too cheap. I have no hesitation in recommending Trade Estimating, it has saved me a lot of time and money, and I now have total confidence in my quotes.

This is a good program. It didn’t take much to set up, and the online help made it painless. I like the fact it doesn’t have a huge row of buttons to confuse me, most of which I don’t use. I used to hate quoting, all the writing and calculating. Once I set up the labour and material rates and used those to build my item book, it cut the time I spend quoting in half. The best thing I like about the system is being able to update my rates with a few keystrokes when a supplier has a price rise, instead of having to rewrite and recalculate everything.
